Rape cases: Congress to hold candlelight march across Delhi

Modi's response comes a day after the Leader of Opposition and Congress Chief Rahul Gandhi's demand of Modi's intervention in the issue.

Congress president raised the Beti Bachao slogan to showcase the large number of rapes, molestations, and attacks on college girls and working women in public transport, domestic violence, and police stations.

"Our daughters will definitely get justice". "You can see people across parties have joined us here tonight", Gandhi told reporters. This situation is such today that one after another incident of murder, rape and violence is taking place in various parts of the country.

Delhi Congress president Ajay Maken led the protest march at the Red Fort at 10 PM while senior party leaders and workers attended similar marches in all 14 districts in the city. India simply can not continue to treat its women the way it does. Reacting to Modi's comments, Congress spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said: "We are thankful that the Prime Minister has spoken at last..." Prime Minister, your silence is unacceptable. The PM had given a slogan "beti Padhao, beti bachao" and it's in his regime that our girls are being raped. What happened at #Kathua is a crime against humanity.
